Okay, I grew up in the late sixties and early seventies. I read Marvel Comics. I read the letters pages, I read the news columns. I read Stan's Soapbox. I have a great deal of nostalgic fondness for these things.
But would I buy an entire book full of nothing but Stan's Soapbox? No, I would not. And this is "I was a teenage Marvel Zombie" girl saying this.
(Okay, it's for a good cause and all that so maybe I might pick it up at some point. But read it all? I suspect I would not.)

I too was a teenaged Marvel Zombie, and I also remember reading those with a certain amount of interest. Nevertheless, an entire book of Stan's hyperbole would probably make my head explode.
A whole book of Stan's Soapbox? Yikes!
You know what I would buy though?
A collection of Mark Gruenwald's Mark's Remarks columns from the letter pages on the books he edited. They were usually pretty good.
